Question

Can lenticular posters be signed with a permanent marker or sharpie?

Answer

Lenticular posters have a textured lenticular lens surface, so writing on them with a permanent marker or Sharpie is generally not recommended. The ridged lens can cause ink to smear or fail to adhere evenly.

  • The lens surface is textured, which keeps ink from sitting smoothly.
  • Permanent marker may smear or bead rather than dry cleanly, and standard pens fare no better, since ink catches on the ridges instead of flowing evenly.
  • If you need a signable area, design a smooth, non-lenticular space into the layout and plan the signing surface before you order.

For specific guidance on your poster, the best way to include an autograph area, and a compatible permanent marker, contact 4OVER4 support before ordering. Options and turnaround can vary by product and may change, so confirm the latest details on the product page or with 4OVER4 support.
